Construction
on the homes in Hoyt Lakes began in 1954 and the residents of
HoytLakes decided to have a City Picnic. The Picnic would give the
residents of the community the opportunity to meet their
neighbors and co-workers of Erie Mining Company. This became an
Annual Event and grew to become the Hoyt Lakes Water Carnival.

In the year
of 2006, the Hoyt Lakes Water Carnival Committee re-organized as
a new team. The previous Water Carnival Committee Members retired
after several years and after the big 50th
Anniversary Celebration. The responsibilities of the Committee
were taken over by 9 new Committee Members. The Committee
Members were actually interviewed by the previous Committee
Members and were chosen carefully based on their various areas
of expertise.

The following
is a very brief history of the City of Hoyt Lakes and the City
Picnic/Carnival:

The City of
Hoyt Lakes was incorporated in 1955 and that Fall the residents
got together at the beach, now know as ColbyBeach,
for a City Picnic. Every year since then there has been some
type of get together. The picnics at one point added a softball
tournament, carnival rides, as well as local food booths. Later
the Hoyt Lakes Boat Club was formed and they put on a great
water ski show with the local talented water skiers.

The event
was originally organized by local residents and then the event
was sponsored by the Jaycees, the Hoyt Lakes Business
Association, the Hoyt Lakes Chamber of Commerce, the Hoyt Lakes
Fire Department, and finally a Hoyt Lakes Water Carnival
Committee, Inc. was formed and took over the event.

The
Committee would like to pay tribute to all of the volunteers of
the past years were worked endless hours for the community and
for the annual celebration of this community's birth. Again, we
are asking for volunteers who will help with this year's event.
